SJHS Theatre Presents Matilda
St. Johns Theatre proudly presents…
Matilda the Musical
November 11, 12 and 13
The story of an extraordinary girl who dares to take a stand and change her own destiny.
Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.
Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other's lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!
Matilda is directed by Mr. Barry Palmer.
Business Management Food Trucks Projects (VIDEO BELOW)
Mrs. Barrett's Business Management students began to develop their concepts for starting a food truck. They developed the logo, branding, initial menu, and truck design. This was just the beginning phase of a multi-unit project. Each sole proprietor or partnership will turn their concept into a business plan and marketing plan, as they learn about organizational structures, pricing strategies, the marketing mix, and finances. At the end of the trimester, students will deliver an elevator pitch in a competition to win a prize from guest judges who represent potential investors.
